During that time, Yamilka was a link in a pilot project between the university and the company in where she apply what she learned in class and research at MSU, to the real shipboard power systems problems in the company. Her work is going to continue this summer, when she goes back to Northrop Grumman for second consecutive year as a summer intern. She is an active student in research, courses and extracurricular activities, especially sports. Some research interests include control techniques and the application in power systems

Whilethey found all three to be important actors in reducing prejudice, the last two, affective aspects,were more important.

Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) have been strongly supported throughthe National Science Foundation as a way to increase the number of students engaged with researchand potentially attend graduate school. This qualitative study examines the impact of a creativity-focused REU program in biomedical engineering on students’ conceptions of research and itsrelationship to the creative process. In addition, this study examines how faculty incorporateconcepts of the creative process in their work with the REU students. Results of the study showthat after participating in the program, students were likely to have a conception of research thatwas broader and more cyclical. Results also suggest that students recognize the connectionbetween research and

between gender and/or ethno-racial identity and the stereotype ofengineering as a field appropriate for white males can impede the development of STEM identities amongwomen and minorities. With the increasing importance of innovation, students who pursue engineering graduate degreesoften seek to build skills in conducting research (Brown and Linden, 2008). The social psychologicalconstruct of identity has emerged as a relatively new metric for assessing graduate student retention andsuccess. Studies suggest that graduate students’ identities correlate with their competency levels as wellas their professional and academic motivation (Alexander, 2011; Silver, Garver, and Watkins, 2011;Virgil, 2016).

They also reported that the researchexperience in general served as an introduction/orientation for what to be expected at thegraduate level research, and that it was an excellent motivation for directing them towardgraduate school. They also felt that the research training and preparation were not encountered inother engineering courses.1.

Therefore, from a top-down approach, RDM is a required part of many federal fundingopportunities. From the bottom-up, RDM leads to effective and efficient research progress. In a study of current RDM practice, Carlson et al. note that in today’s university researchlaboratories, “graduate students are often expected to carry out most or all of the datamanagement tasks for their own research.”[5] While literature studies have shown that facultyunderstand the need
